USAID needs your stories and photographs to educate the public about our programs,
explain how U.S. development assistance works, and demonstrate the impact USAID has
on peoples' lives around the world. We want to convey information that the everyday
reader can care about and understand. Before and After uses two photographs to vividly
illustrate how a USAID program made an impact. The photos should be accompanied by an
introduction and detailed captions.
